Ratings and Reviews
When I got into LSE, I couldn’t believe it at first because it came very unexpectedly. Everyone around me including my counsellor and my parents told me that it’s not gonna be easy and it’s gonna get really difficult later on. That time, I just ignored it and didn’t really bother. 2 weeks into university, and I realised that LSE’s academic pressure is just something else. It’s really not easy. You have to give a lot of time to your readings, research work and assignments. LSE also follows a lecture, seminar and class format which means more study hours during the week. But this format also helps me to revise the same concept 3 times a week. You have to start your preparation for exams before anything else or it’s gonna get too late. Talking about the facilities, LSE has one of the biggest libraries in the UK and there are so many study spaces available on campus. There are also a lot of restaurants and grocery stores around. LSE also offers well-being services and additional support.

great experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LSE is an outstanding university!
Good uni experience for the 4 years
As an LSE student I’ll try to be completely unbiased. It’s one of the hardest no-nonsense Russell Group unis with a vibrant culture for people interested in learning, developing and making something out of themselves. If you’re doing a quantitative course like me you’ll be displeased with the people you meet but the opposite can be said if you’re in a more qualitative course. I guess LSE attracts smart people, and many smart people aren’t the most pleasant to hang out with. Careers Staff aren’t really concerned with you because they very much believe if you’re at LSE, you know what you want and it is a thing here with the plethora of career oriented societies you’ll here about. Many people hate the mindless hustle culture at LSE. I’m all in for the grind but the sheer number people who do it with the sole aim of becoming a corporate crony will leave you baffled. I was like that in my first year and realised, that you’ve got to think on what you want to do here before coming to LSE.
Campus was very accommodating and was able to collaborate and learn a tremendous amount.
Decent university with good facilities and location within the city. Some facilities might not be available and many things can be improved. Such as better student society representation and family feeling between students, staff and the SU.
LSE is overall well-run as the facilities are in good condition. However, one thing I find lacking on campus is the lack of usable lockers in the library and the lack of affordable food options (food+drink
